Here It Comes!

We hope you have enjoyed the first six months of The Classical. We have certainly enjoyed writing, editing, and otherwise assembling it. Spread the word and let us know your thoughts!

There is, however, another matter of business—a very handsome, predominantly orange and black one—left to tend to, and that's the Kickstarter rewards we owe you folks for your generous contributions. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this front and will be sending out the stuff that counts in the next week. You will not be disappointed and our mass protests against hegemony and false pizza can begin in earnest.

If you have changed addresses since filling out our e-survey, drop us a line (again) here to remind us. Same goes for any special arrangements we made (bonus autographed FD books, for instance). We have it all on file, somewhere, but want to make sure we don't miss anything. So get ready, get pumped, and one more time, give us the facts we need to make you happy.

I looked back at your email. My response was about the backer incentives going out soon, which they will. The site has been live for a while now at http://www.theclassical.org. We've been running several thousand words of carefully-curated and labored-over thoughtful (and sometimes snarky) sports content a day. Just as promised.

OK, so all kidding aside, I am thoroughly confused. A few weeks ago I got a note (in response to a query) saying you were "gearing up" for a premiere, but I never got any further notice...now this email makes it sound like you've been out for months. So all that needs to be cleared up is simply if you're really publishing -- and how many issues thus far? I'm a backer, so, you know, I'm on your side....sorry if it came off snark-ier than intended. ---LL

Whoa there. I am just trying to address the concerns I thought you were voicing in that initial comment. Maybe you should send me a personal message here and we can straighten this out, whatever "this" is.

The Classical is on the web. I was not kidding about this. We are very rarely tongue-in-cheek.

Ohhhhh, so let me get this straight.....if it's a WEB pub, it's "automatically" tongue-in-cheek? I didn't get the memo! Some web writing is actually, um, sincere....sort of....but since you're sports oriented, I guess you're exempt....well just make sure you get the Kate Upton photos in every issue...wink wink wink....how you like me now, boyos, can I whip those ellipses up or what? ... ... ...
